Abstract

Although there are two dimensions of fear of unemployment, individual and contextual, relevant literature mainly focuses on the individual dimension. This results in ignoring the contextual dimension of the fear of unemployment in underdeveloped regions with disadvantaged youth population. This study examines the relationship between students’ fear of unemployment and contextual factors in Munzur University, one of the most disadvantaged universities in Turkey. Results indicate that negative perceptions towards macroeconomic performance, political clientelism, and the quality of the university increase fear of unemployment.
